Text from Tor.com

Tor Books has just announced the title, first cover, and release date for the third novel in the New York Times bestselling Halo Forerunner Saga, Halo: Silentium, written by legendary science fiction author Greg Bear. The first two books of the Forerunner Saga, Halo: Cryptumand Halo: Primordium are currently available in trade paperback, e-book, and audiobook. This newest book in the series will release in hardcover from Tor on January 8, 2013 alongside simultaneous audio and e-book editions.

In Halo: Cryptum, Greg Bear began a three-book arc set in the era of the Forerunners, the ancient and enigmatic creators and builders of the Halos, which continued in Halo: Primordium. Now, in the last years of the Forerunner empire, chaos rules. The Flood—a horrifying shape-changing parasite—has arrived in force, aided by unexpected allies. Internal strife within the ecumene has desperately weakened Forerunner defenses.

Only the Ur-Didact and the Librarian—husband and wife pushed into desperate conflict—hold the keys to salvation. Facing the consequences of a mythic tragedy, one of them must now commit the greatest atrocity of all time—to prevent an unmatched evil from dominating the entire universe.

Tor Books has proudly partnered with Microsoft and 343 Industries to publish every book set in this iconic universe. Along with the books of the Forerunner Saga, Tor also publishes another all-new Halo trilogy penned byNew York Times bestselling author Karen Traviss that explores the Halo Universe in the wake of the final events of Halo 3. Traviss’s first novel, Halo: Glasslands, came out in 2011, with Halo: The Thursday War due out in October 2012.

I don’t know about you folks, but I’m REALLY excited to read this last in the trilogy of books. The cover art is amazing and gives us yet another glimpse into the scope and size of Forerunner technology.

About Sal

Well, I’ve been toying with the idea of a new blog for awhile now. My wife has wanted me to do this for several months. So I decided, why not? I’ve got tons of experience with Halo gaming and collecting. I think I have something to offer to the greater Halo fan community. So I’m starting this blog. Posts along the way will be about tips and tricks in the games as well as collecting. I’ll also repost interesting articles from official sites, such as Halowaypoint.com, or fan sites such as HaloCollectors.com. A note about HaloCollectors. I’m a staff writer there, as well as global moderator and the official Mega Bloks reviewer for that site. As far as the games go, I’ve played Halo 3 since it came out until Reach was released. I loved Halo3: ODST and though it was underrated by many. I love Halo Reach and am already an Inheritor, having attained that rank in July, 2011. I know many of the tips and tricks on how to boost commendations in Campaign and Firefight. And yes in Matchmaking, but I prefer to go about those correctly and not cheat the system. As I develop this blog, I hope to help gamers who want advice on the games, as well as any collectors with regards to where to find collectibles as well as deals, coupons and so on. You can also follow me on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/#!/HaloFanForLife or Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/halofanforlife11. These are both new as well, so there isn’t much if anything at those page for the moment. However there will be and each of these three outlets will have similar information, though not the same, so be sure to follow them all. Welcome to my blog and I hope you’ll come back again and again. -Sal
